Mandles: The new gift trend for men
The new gift trend for men.
A new trend is appearing in the candle inndustry.
A range of scents designed to appeal solely to men quaintly named “Mandles” (Man-Candles). This quirky idea is quickly growing in popularity featuring both candles designed specifically for men, plus a rise in more masculine scented candles - which of course, may appeal depending on your personal tastes, no matter your gender.
Mandles are a trend that are a new direction for candle makers as scented candles often previously focussed on more floral or feminine scents. However, the rise in popularity of the Mandle is fiercely growing, as more men are buying candles for themselves, and women are buying more candles for the men in their lives.
These candles designed for men are great as gifts if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary for the man who has everything. But equally, Mandles are being bought by men to accessorise their homes, office spaces and “man-caves” as a way of claiming their space in the household.
Using Mandles can set a scene, creating a mood from calm to uplifted and productive to sensual. There really is a scent for every experience and creating a peaceful and comforting atmosphere can have profound mental health benefits, as well as defining a space. In addition, burning wood wick candles can evoke feelings of cosiness and romance, with the sensory feel of a log fire.
Traditional masculine scents include cedarwood, which has soft woody tones; leather; rum and spices. Scents reminiscent of a favourite aftershave or a simple clean crisp smell are also extremely popular and a good place to start if you’re looking for a more masculine scented candle.
Black Pepper & Amber Classic Candle.
We recommend trying both Black Pepper and Amber (which is a hearty scent with a vibrant and spicy aroma, combining black pepper, amber and cedarwood with smoother notes of lavender and jasmine) and spicy Cinnamon, Orange and Clove from our candle range if you enjoy more masculine fragrances. And remember if you find one you like you can also enjoy it as a reed diffuser and a room spray depending on what best suits your needs.
